Another 100 Book List

This is the Reader’s List version of the 100 Best Books list I posted a few weeks ago. I don’t know which country it originated from but it does come across as slightly odd to say the least. Anyway, as before those I’ve read are in BOLD and those I own but have yet to read are in Italics.

There does seem to be an inordinate amount of books by Ayn Rand, L Ron Hubbard, Charles de Lint and Robert Heinlein in the list which I find interestingly strange. It does make me wonder who exactly compiled it! But whatever its provenance I hope that it gives you a few ideas or at least provokes some thought! At least I didn't come off too badly on this one.....
